who's the better Qb?   Do we try to keep either?  does Moore look good because receivers finally can catch the ball?  Henne was not the only reason we lost so many games this year.

Probably keep Moore and draft a star QB prospect this year or try like hell to get Manning and draft a QB next year.

What is it with you guys and Manning? He's broken. Would you invest in a car with a broken engine for your child to drive around? To answer the OP- Moore. -EK

With the way Moore has prgressed this year I think you keep Moore as the backup.  Not sure of what Moore's current contract is with the Fins, but the other possibility is packaging Moore as part of a trade and keeping Henne.  Moore seems to exude more confidence and doesn't seem to get that deer in the headlights look during the 2 minute drill.

Players get injured every year and come back all the time.  Would you have written off Brady when he went out a couple years ago?  It's not like Manning is a running QB, he's always been a pocket passer.

He has had THREE operations on the same body part.  He is one sack away from living the rest of his life in a wheel chair. 

You can come back from one injury or two.  Once you are on the third it is time to hang it up. 

As for the OP --- either draft a QB or go with Moore.  He is playing well.  It takes time for a QB to get insync with the WR.  He has achieved that.

It's not an OR question IMO,one is a free agent (Henne) one is under contract for another year (Moore)...

IMO,Your QB has to fit what your HC,OC is trying to do....I feel the trifecta saw Henne as an Aikman like QB,being they were a run first,play good defense to win games...(my assumption) I think Moore fits exactly what Daboll want,and work well together..

I'm not sure I could answer the question till we have a head coach...

my 2 cents...

Both.  Moore has one more year on his contract, I think, so keep him and draft whatever QB of the future is available.  Let them duke it out in camp to see who starts.

Henne's contract is up, so you don't even have to cut him.  Moore has shown more leadership and grit in half a season than Henne did in his entire career.

I would write off ANY player with spinal fusion. That's not the same as any other injury in football, or life for that matter. He had a disk recmoved and his cervical spine fused together. And he already had knee issues before that. Immobile + fragile = one hit away from crippled. I assure you he is not going to be the same player he was. -EK

^^Not for a player who typically takes fewer hits than anyone on the field.  Manning has been extremely durable up to this point, there's absolutely no reason to think he won't play for another 2 or 3 years. It's certainly possible that his career could come to an abrupt end, but a recent study has shown that as many as 40 players have had the same surgery and come back to play in the NFL. Every QB knows that the next game could be his last.

Oh, I'm sure he'll come back. In fact, I never said he wouldn't. WHat I said was that he wouldn't be the same player. While over 40 players may have come back from the same surgery, I'd be interested to see their pre- and post- op stats. -EK

He is not a mobile QB, he plays behind the best o-line in the NFL.  Is the Dolphins going to trade for the o-line as well?

Keep Moore, draft a 1st round QB and let them duke it out in preseason. Let Henne go, and get rid of JP Losman. Keep Devlin as #3
